We turn to you, Mother of the Church. Through your
"fiat," you have opened the door which makes Christ present in the
world, in history, and in individual lives. In humble silence
and in total availability, you welcomed the call of the Most High. May there be
many men and women in our day who respond to your Son's invitation, "Follow
me!" Grant them courage to leave family, work, and earthly hope to follow
Christ along the road that He walked. Mary, Queen of Apostles, pray for us and
for an increase of priestly and religious vocations. Amen.

Based on a prayer by Pope John Paul lI
